APC Mobilizes Protest Against INEC PVC In Lagos

Members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and many Lagos residents, yesterday, protested shoddy distribution of the Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs, by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

In their thousands, the protesters stormed the Birrel Avenue, Yaba, office of the commission and later the Alausa, Ikeja, office of Governor Babatunde Fashola, to register their complaints. They got to INEC’s office at about 9 am and Fashola’s office around 1pm. They displayed various placards with indicting inscriptions against INEC.

Some of the placards read: “The electoral body is hoarding the PVCs to disenfranchise residents in 2015 elections!” “We Lagosians detest rigging, give us our PVCs!” “Lagosians reaffirm one man, one woman, one vote, give us our PVCs, period!” “Jega, be warned, don’t act FG’s script in Lagos’!” “We beg una to give us our cards!” “The totality of Agege Youth, women and men are demanding an extension for PVC collection!” “INEC, Agege demands more time for our PVC collection!” “Enough of your show of shame INEC, we need our PVC!”
